The invention relates to new and useful improvements in closuresn for tumhlers or the like, and more particularv to a elosure which eau be easily detached from the tumbler.

An object of the invention to provide a closure for a tumbler having a projecting shoulder in its outer Wall adjacent the upper edge thereof, which closure may be Secured in tight Sealing contact with the tuinbier by a bendinglr of the depending Shirt or flange inwardly beneath the shouider.

A further object of the invention is to provide a closure for a tumbler of tho above type, wherein the depending shirt is a part ot a holding; band having a locking tongue securing the ends thereof together.

Other objects and advantagee ot the invention Will appear hereinafter.

Referring to the accompanying drawing,

Fig. 1 is a view in elevation of a tumbler or jar sealed with a cap embodyinethe present invention;

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view, on an enlarged scale and partly in Section, illustrating the cap placed in sealing position and before being fastened in place on the eontainer;

Fig. 3 is a similar View of the same cap after being fastened in sealing position.

The invention is directed to a closure for tumblers or the like. A tumbler is :shown in the drawing at 11, and this tumbler is provided with a proiectingr portion 12 forming a shoulder located in the outer Wall of the tumbler and adjacent its upper end. The closure for Sealing' the tumbler includes a sealing cap or disk 14 provided on its under face With a Scaling composition 15 adapted to Contact with the upper ed ne of the wall of the tumbler. The dish or cap 14 is Secured in Sealing' Contact With the tumbler by a tastening band 17. The band 17 has: an inwardly extending portion 18 which over-lies and engages the outer face oi the dial; or can 1e. The baud has a` vertically extending shirt or flange, and the lower edge of the skirt is formed with a bead 19. The ends of the band 17 are secured together by a fauteuiug lug 21 formed in one end of the band and passing through a Sint in the extending tongue of the other end of the band. Thus the ends of the band are firmly secured to- Y gether. The cup formed, stated above, is applied to the tumbler, and the sealing compoeition 1.5 brought into engagement with the end of the well of the tumbler. The closure is forced downwardly, making' a tight sealing Contact between the can or disk 14 and the tumbler1 and While so held, the skirt or flange of the band 1T prmfieiled with an inwardly extending' annular bead 24. This annular bead ie formed in the skirt above the outwardliT projectingr bead 19, and so as to extend beneath the shoulder 1Q on the tumbler. rlShe forming ot' the bead 24 in the skirt locke the closure to the tumbler, holding the disk iirmly clamped against the end of the tumbler Wall7 and thus insuring a perinanent hermetic seal between the disk and the tumbler. due to the Sealing composition being iiriniy pressed against the parte. The disk 14 is preferably provided with an annular bead diepoeed Within the inner Wall of the, tumbler`r and this forms a pocket for the sealing material which confines the sealing: materia! so as to aid in the producing of a tight neel. The bead Q4- iormed in the skirt ia uniformlyY formed all the Wav around the skirt, end aeroes and in the lug Q1 and tongue 22. This insures that the ende of the band Where theyY are lioined will be tightly held from movement in a vertical direction. inasmuch as the metal forming these parte is forced underneath the ledge on the tumbler. By the construction described. the closure will be very 1Cir1nlY attached to the tumblerE and yet it can he readily removed by liftingr the tongue Q2 and breaking the lug connection between the ends of the band. The bead 19 at the lower end nii the elirt strengthens the. skirt and aids in holding the shane of the formed head 24. so that the closure is very tightlyT secured to the tumbler.

That is elaimed is:

The eomhination of a tumbler having an outwardly projecting portion adjacent its upper end a closure for said tumbler comprising a sealing disk`y a sealing composition between the disk and the end of the tumbler wall, and a Securing1f band overlying Suid Seal` ing disk and provided With a depending skirt extending along the Outer face of the tumbler, one mul of said band having a. relnnsing' tongue and the other end havingl a lovking lng' passing through the tongue for joining the ends of the band, said skirt at the lower edge thereof having an outwardly projerting bead, and an annular inwardly projof'tinp; Seem-ing bead of uniform cross section extending all 'the Way around Said skirt und morose; said tongue and lug and bearing nguinnt Said projection for holding the elosure in tght sealing' Contact with the tumbler.

ln testimony whereof, I ziilix my signature.
